The Gamer - Naruto World Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Genjutsu Hazard

Chapter 19 - Genjutsu Hazard

Iruka stood behind the podium watching the students gradually came in and filling the seats. He counted the number of students in his head while praying hard that a bit more would come.

Everyone while coming in would glance at Iruka and greet him. The children from clans were the same, just as if any other day, but the civilian students had an odd gleam in their eyes, those eyes filled with determination and something else. Experiencing the sad and cruel reality in a Genjutsu way was a unique way to realize their problem but as long as the students understood what was important, Iruka was satisfied.

Iruka was feeling happy when he saw almost all the seats filling. The bell rang but Iruka was standing on the podium silently and a few minutes pa.s.sed by. The students started discussing with one another.

Letting out a sigh, Iruka opened the attendance sheet and crossed some names with another line then started calling the names of students. There were some lines made with a red pen. Seeing that Iruka felt a bit pain in his heart, but had a calm face outside.

"Yamanaka Ino."

"Here."

"Yoshizawa Raito."

"Here."

Closing the attendance sheet Iruka looked in front of him where the students were sitting, clearing his throat Iruka gave a warm smile, "Everyone who has come here, today, have stepped forward on being a ninja. Each and every one of you who decided not to quit, who decided to work hard, are in my eyes better than those who quit."

Giving a salute to those in front of him, "I salute to you all, to all of my future ninja comrades." Giving a quiet smile Iruka reached the door of the room.

"This week will be Special cla.s.s regarding Genjutsu. Looking at the performance sheet I and other teachers realize that most of the students are very weak at Genjutsu. Knowing that you are in a Genjutsu and your ability to break simple Genjutsu is what this week will be all about. Therefore, those who do not know how to break a Genjutsu please go to the next cla.s.sroom just by our side. And those, who know how to break a Genjutsu will remain in this room and will try to break the Genjutsu. To help us with that your seniors from the 'Special Genjutsu Cla.s.s' has come." Iruka said as he opened the door.

A group of women and men came in wearing the same standard Konoha flak jacket, leading them was a woman, "My name is Kaede Fuyou, from the 'Special Genjutsu Cla.s.s'. 'Special Genjutsu Cla.s.s' or in short SGC is a cla.s.s for those who want to learn further on Genjutsu and use those skills in the field."

"Kaede, stop it." Iruka stopped Kaede from speaking any further

"Now, those of who don't how to break a Genjutsu go to another room. I will be right there with you." Iruka instructed

The rushing of footsteps was heard, and a little less than half of the students moved to another room.

Kaede spoke up, "Please make a pair with a member from SGC and start practicing."

Raito looked in front of him stunned by the things that were happening. Everything happened to fast for him to comprehend; Iruksensei was saluting than these people came and next they had to try breaking a Genjutsu.

Raito stood up and moved to the back of the cla.s.s where he looked outside the window, seeing a bunch of Chunin practicing outside, he let out a groan. Then again looking at his CP, he smiled a bit. Looking around he could not believe everyone's excitement. The looked so enthusiastic.

At that time, a boy older than himself approached Raito and introduced himself, "My name's Ayumu. Nice to meet you. Let's try our best." The boy brought his hand forward for a handshake.

Looking at the hand and the slightly older and taller boy Raito used 'Observe'. The older boy was feeling awkward, with his hand on air. Just as he was going to retreat his hand Raito grabbed it and shook it.

"Sorry about that I was just thinking about your name. By the way, my name is Raito; just call me that." Raito said all of it enthusiastically.

Stunned by the sudden enthusiasm, Ayumu gave an awkward smile then sat on the bench, "So let's start, I will be using a visual Genjutsu so try to break free from it."

Raito sat opposite, smiled and nodded. Ayumu did a few hand seals then his chakra flared.

The same thing happened again like the last time, the world turned black and white the blue chakra particles were in the air some were traveling inside Raito and some were affecting the surroundings.

[Technique a.n.a.lyzed. 'Binding Illusion-Broken s.p.a.ce']

[Technique stored in the library.]

[Please exchange using Merit points.]

"This ability to a.n.a.lyze is really awesome. If only I could find more about Merit Points." Sighing Raito looked at Ayumu then gave him a thumbs up.

"Y-you are not a bit affected by my Genjutsu?" asked Ayumu

"Uh Yeah."

"But how?" asked Ayumu

"No idea." Raito replied simply

"Hey, tell me, are you a sensor?" asked the leader woman named Kaede

"Something like that." Raito answered lazily, which made the leader women a bit angry.

"I practice with my friends, lots and some people prank me using Genjutsu. So, I was able to quickly to break free." Raito smiled back giving little explanation.

Suddenly there was a huge chakra wave, then students who were trying to break free from Genjutsu, opened their eyes, looking confused. Moreover, the source of all was Naruto who released a large amount of chakra

"I did it, how was that?" Naruto asked cheerfully.

"That was one big jolt." Said the girl in front of Naruto. Then looking back at Naruto she commented, "You don't need that much of chakra just to break free from that Genjutsu, just a little is fine."

"But I usually use this much against Raito, otherwise the Genjutsu won't disappear." Naruto replied

"Raito, huh. I seem to have heard his name." Then Kaede opened the file and looked at the student's name.

"Yoshizawa Raito, come out. Tell me what Genjutsu you have been using?" Kaede asked with a bit of force.

Looking at the overbearing women, Raito cursed inwardly then answered calmly, "I have been using 'Demonic Illusion: False surroundings'."

"Cast one for me." The woman commanded

"Why not?" Raito did not question the women but moved outside the door and disappeared completely, making the people inside the cla.s.sroom dumfounded.

"You should go before it's too late." Naruto commented

The leader and her minions walked out but saw no one, but surprisingly there was a new frame hung on the wall of the building and it read out, 'FIND ME'. The minions or the people from SGC looked around but the leader touched the frame. Just as her hand was going to touch the frame, the frame faded out, "I knew it."

One of the minions who was running suddenly crashed into the wall and fell down, "There was a walkway here."

"Another Genjutsu."

A few minions walked forward to help their friend, but somehow they had a weird sensation.

Suddenly a side of Genjutsu disappeared and a door appeared. Out of which Iruka came out. "What all that noise about?"

The few minions got scared when Iruka appeared then looked at the leader then at their fallen comrade. Looking back and forth at the walls around them then at the leader women and the friend lying down. Someone could not hold it in and suddenly threw up, and then one after another the group of three started vomiting.

"What the h.e.l.l is going on?" Iruka asked with a serious face.

Kaede looked awkward then with a resigned sigh, explained everything that happened until now.

'Well, that's going to be a huge pain in the a.s.s.' "First, about Raito, forget about him. Second, you all will continue the cla.s.s as planned. Dismissed." Iruka gave a couple of orders and the teachers helped the Genjutsu group.

Kaede looked like she wanted to say something but decided not to.

Everyone left but Ayumu, he was moving on slowly, checking everything and slowly removing the Genjutsu that Raito had laid.

Ayumu removed all the Genjutsu laced inside the academy; the only word in his mind about the boy was- 'Incredible'.

"He seems to be high level in Genjutsu, Hokage-sama. But he used only one type of Genjutsu and from what I was informed Raito didn't practice any Genjutsu a month back." Surprisingly a female voice came out.

"I understand."

"Kurenai find him but don't interfere. If you cannot him then find Kakashi. He is stationed at the west tower." Hiruzen ordered and then disappeared.

Inside the office, "CAT tell Inoichi to come at T&I, he has some work to do." Hiruzen ordered as he went back to his desk.

Somewhere else in Konoha

"ID escape."

"I knew it; it would be the greatest escape technique, ever," Raito yelled in excitement.

ACADEMY

Naruto

"He ditched me and bunked the cla.s.s." Naruto growled in mock anger.

"H-hey, let's do it one more time." Said the older girl in front of Naruto

"Ugh, no thanks." Naruto replied

Shikamaru

"Oi wake up, seriously try a bit. Just a bit, you know. Please try." A male boy pleaded in front of one Shikamaru Nara

"What a troublesome guy. Listen here, your Genjutsu is too weak. Train some more on dummies then you will be able to put one on person." Shikamaru was shocked in his reply. Seemed like Raito was affecting him too much.

"I am going out. Wanna come?" asked Shikamaru as he walked to the door.

Choji, Naruto, Ino, and Hinata also stood up and left the room.

"C-Captain do we just let them go?" asked a minion

"How was their performance?" the leader asked nonchalantly

"Above academy level for sure." The minion handed her the performance chart.

The woman sighed then faced the cla.s.s, "Just leave them alone. Every single one of them is trouble."

The five left the room and along with them, a raven-haired boy left the cla.s.sroom.

A pink longhaired girl watched as her blond haired rival left the cla.s.sroom, "Ino"

Somewhere on the Konoha fields

Raito was in a sleeping position, with a few leaves stuck at his forehead and a blank scroll laying in front of him. The very front of the scroll had "Shadow Clone" written in it and the rest was blank.

"Uzumaki Splash!!!" Naruto shouted as he jumped high from the top of the tree and if he were to fall, he would definitely fall onto Raito.

Antic.i.p.ating the attack Raito raised his left hand high from where a… bowl…of… RAMEN appeared.

Horrified by the thought of crashing into a bowl of G.o.dly ramen, Naruto forcefully moved his body crashing to the ground.

"Baka." Raito said then the ramen disappeared from his hand and continued to look into the empty scroll.

Waiting for a few minutes Raito looked at a certain direction and called out, "Can you all not hide like you are trying to act more like a ninja?"

Few of them appeared jumping from the tree. Hinata, Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru.

"You guys make a lot of noise. Next time try making less noise." Said Raito

Raito wrapped his scrolls then stood up.

Ino asked, "Raito how were you able to make those Genjutsu?"

"I experienced a lot of Genjutsu in the past. At that time, I was not taught how to do them but now after a few practices I was able to do it, simple isn't it?" Raito explained in the simplest way.

"That's not simple at all. Mastering Genjutsu is the most difficult among others like Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, it requires good chakra control and a strong mind and…"

Raito cut off Ino, "Doesn't that mean I am that awesome?"

Raito smiled then collected some pebbles from the ground, "When I asked everyone to come out I meant you too, Stalker number 3."

Ratio started throwing the small pebbles one by one after which some m.u.f.fled sounds of pain was heard.

"You guys found me with the help of Hinata, right? But, couldn't you guys have covered your tracks. You let someone else follow you." Raito commented still throwing pebbles.

Ino-ShikCho trio awesomely ignored Raito then went to a corner for discussion about their own team and so.

"Naruto your clones can try out the jutsu and some will read books. While you will do some strength and speed training." Raito again gave Naruto some books.

Taking out a green scroll from his inventory, Raito gave it to Hinata with a reluctant face, "That's a healing jutsu; it would be nice that you and Ino learn this jutsu."

"I… that …my family."

"Nothing will happen just learn this jutsu."

Raito picked up some leaves from the ground then started his chakra control exercise. Everyone was doing something, some doing more than others do.

Shikamaru was sitting lazily under a tree but his shadow was going everywhere, sometime it would go above ground and grab some leaves and sometime it would cover pebbles or small stones.

Choji was trying out his partial expansion jutsu. Sometime his hand would expand then sometime his legs. Holding the jutsu as long as possible. After the jutsu got canceled, he would relax by eating chips.

Ino and Hinata were reading scrolls, trying to figure out the jutsu. Mostly Hinata was teaching Ino about the human body anatomy and physiology.

Naruto with his clone army were doing many things, the original was body training whereas his clones were doing jutsu, calligraphy, reading books and maybe others.

Using more than enough leaves, Raito was increasing the level of chakra control. Around 15 minutes or so, Raito stood up looking at his chakra bar. Taking out his wooden sword, Raito ran towards the trees, using the chakra sense Raito saw the figure, taking out a pebble from inventory; Raito threw the pebble towards the figure.

"Why didn't you come out?" Raito asked again throwing some pebbles towards the figure.

The figure did not spoke but threw shuriken towards Raito. Raito deflected them using his wooden sword.

"Not answering huh? Then tell me how my Genjutsu was today? Did it shock you?" Raito asked

After a silent pause, the figure replied, "After I unlock my Sharingan, those Genjutsu would not be able to do anything to me?"

Pausing his steps Raito looked at Sasuke and replied, "Did you know. I got that Genjutsu from Ino. Yea, yea the girl on par with Sakura, which she is not going to be any more in a few days. She would be strong enough to beat that Sakura to ground. Do you want to know how?"

Raito paused then looked at Sasuke with a smile hung on his face. "She is training Sasuke, so she will be able to defeat Sakura. It is not only Ino that is training but also Naruto, the dead last of the academy; you have seen it, right? Naruto can do clones, which means a guarantee that he pa.s.ses. That lazy b.u.m, Shikamaru is also training. Choji and Hinata are also training. Did you notice the change in Hinata last time at the academy; she was going through them like no other day."

Letting the words sink Raito smiled then using his wooden sword, Raito strike at Sasuke. With increased STR Raito moved faster reaching Sasuke in a blink. Then using the increased DEX Raito controlled the movement of his hands, the wooden sword landing near the neck.

(It may not matter much in future or it may but for me, STR is to gross motor and relating to muscle strength and DEX for the fine motor, coordination of muscles, in movements—usually involving the synchronization of hands and fingers—with the eyes. Copied using Google, Wikipedia)

"See this Sasuke; I got a bit stronger than last time. I could get to this stage eventually but I had them to help me get stronger and I made some new and good memory while doing so."

Raito stopped, moved backward then looked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked down possibly in thought, "Do you have something else you want to tell me." Sasuke asked in a strangely normal way, his words difficult to come.

"Naruto still wishes that you come and join us. Getting strong together, creating memories together and enjoying time as we grow up." Raito said while his hand extended towards Sasuke.

Sasuke slapped the hand then kicked Raito. "What the h.e.l.l, Sasuke?" Raito shouted his hands covering his cheeks.

Scratching his face Sasuke replied that made Raito vomit, "I thought you got stronger?

Ratio and Sasuke went back towards the group. Sasuke was looking neutral while Raito was using 'Heal' on his cheeks.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, this is humiliating. I didn't get hurt in a fight but at…ugh." Raito felt the urge to vomit whenever he remembered it.

While the two of them were heading back, a loud voice boomed, "So you guys are here, huh?"

Sasuke stopped walking then made a strange face. Hesitating a bit Sasuke was about to move back when Raito caught him, "You aren't a coward, are you?"

Sasuke froze at Raito's taunt. Raito voice sounded again this time becoming more magnetic, "Who or what are you afraid of, Sasuke? Those of your similar age, who go to the same place as you? Are you afraid because they are in a group or what?"

Pausing a bit Raito again spoke, "We will help each other train, make each other stronger and maybe we can one day surpa.s.s the strongest ones. So come help us and we will help you in exchange." Then Raito brought out his warmest smile and extended his hand once again.

Sasuke looked at Raito then looked at the people gathering in front of him, 'I can get stronger if I am with them, and Raito got strong when he was with them. Sure, there were those three but more people joined him and….and maybe I can too? If I have to do this to get stronger faster then I will do it. Not for anyone else but for you brother.'

Raito walked forward coming out of the bushes, "Kiba and Shino, is it? What are you guys doing here?"

"You guys disappeared so we searched for you. So tell us what are ya all doing here? Can we join in on the fun here?" Kiba asked

Shino, the silent one, walked towards Raito then asked, "My kikaichu, I can sense that they are alive but I can't find their location and neither can their partner kikaichu."

Ratio put his hands inside his pouch and took out a small bottle with fuinjutsu marks and very minute holed lid then gave it to Shino.

"I wish that you respect other people's privacy a bit. I am a sensor you know, sort of. Therefore, when I knew that something foreign was on me, I had no choice but to act on it. It was fine the first time when I came to the cla.s.s I could forgive you on that but last Thursday and this morning made me mad." A smile still hung on Raito's face when he turned back and walked towards the group.

"Shino-san you bugged every single one of my friends here, just so you could find me or had you done it from early on?" asked Raito his words creating a rift.

"I bugged them this morning after you disappeared. Since I guessed that you all will meet eventually, I thought it would be the most efficient method. I wished that I could talk to you alone but Kibsan caught me. I would like to ask for forgiveness from my part for the troubles I caused Raito-san and everyone." Explained Shino then asked for their forgiveness.

"Hahaha, No problem Shino. No harm done, so no problem. But why did ya attach bugs to Raito." Asked Naruto

"It's like going through a ritual. Aburame clan kikaichu will adapt to you chakra so it can recognize you in future, they can recognize friends or foe, to prevent attacking friends, locate them and sometimes also help them." Sasuke added as he also exited out of the bushes.

"Sasuke-kun." Ino immediately went to fangirl mode.

Sasuke stiffened then glared at Raito. Raito looked at the sky and wondered whether it would rain or not. Wait aren't birds here prettier?

"That's that but you guys still haven't told me, why you guys are here?" Kiba shouted this time, his voice feral.

"Kibkun we are training here." Replied Hinata

"Hinata you here training?" asked Kiba

"Y-yes." Hinata replied her words stumbling.

"See there is progress here. Ino is not jumping on you and Hinata is not shuttering that much." Raito whispered to Sasuke.

"Shino who is on your team?" Suddenly Shikamaru asked

Shino remained silent, after which Shikamaru looked at Kiba. Kiba immediately replied, "I am with Shino and Sasuke."

"Kibsan." Shino said his voice raised a bit higher.

"Can't you tell they have already shown us their team? So, what we are doing is, leveling the playing field." Replied Kiba his eyes narrowing into slits.

Smiling to the scenery Raito looked at the academy then turned towards Naruto, "Naruto, the clones, make them go." As soon as Raito instructed the clones disappeared in smoke.

"Everyone Iruksensei is going to be here in a few minutes so we should go..." Before Raito could finish his words he saw a blur coming fast catching him off guard.

Iruka quickly caught Raito and disabled him from moving any further, "Yoshizawa Raito."

"Y-Yo Iruksensei. Please let me go, you are hurting me." Raito asked weakly

"Raito I know you are smart. Way smarter than your age group and you too, Shikamaru." Iruka smiled

"I am proud of you. Your Genjutsu skills were top-notch but you could have learned more from them if you hadn't escaped." Iruka lectured

"Really?" Raito gave Iruka a deadpanned face.

"I mean 'Konoha's Genjutsu Mistress' could not put me in a Genjutsu then sensei do you think someone, from that group, would be able to put me in a Genjutsu?" Raito asked and saw Iruka's shocked face.

Waiting for a few seconds Raito continued, "Then sensei what do you think if I were in a cla.s.s what would I be able to learn? For me, it will be like looking into a board, a blackboard with nothing written on it. And according to school laws, under special act number 18, if I am able to clear the objectives set by the in charge at the time, I can remove myself from the program and instead do something else more productive."

Releasing Raito and letting out an ugly groan, "If someone asks me who gives me more headache then I will definitely point at you, Raito."

Taking a deep breath Iruka took out a bunch of paper chits, "Come up everyone in front of me, now."

The students all around immediately made a three by three line dividing themselves by their groups, which surprised Iruka again.

Thinking about the next in line clan heads and Naruto, Iruka thought that it was normal.

"Well let me tell some things to you. First thing is that you all did well on your Genjutsu dispelling, so you guys don't have to continue. Second thing, you have till next week to train, then come next Sunday, at training ground three by 7 in the morning and don't be late." The final words he looked sternly at Raito.

"Next is the preparation for next week. I advise you all to know about different herbs and plants in the training ground three. In addition, the different hunting methods to catch your prey like animals and fishes. Lastly, you have to learn about ways to make a shelter. It will be a weeklong survival trip so I hope you guys will be prepared. Next is the few Ninjutsu you have learned and in addition the Justus you have learned privately, hand seals and chakra control, other things you will learn from your Jounin instructors later. Therefore, you have time to learn what you know right now and level up it to the max." Iruka advised the group of students in front of him.

"Cough, cough." Raito coughed a bit hearing the irony.

Everyone made positive noises. Then Iruka looked at the Naruto and Raito.

"Everyone go. I need to talk to Raito and Naruto." Everyone slowly went away looking at the Raito's devilish smile and Iruka's worried face.

Between all of that, Raito made several hand signs, which only Shikamaru understood.

After everyone left Iruka let out a silly smile then said, "Say why don't I treat you a bowl of ramen."

"Ehhh? Sensei but you said if Naruto was able to beat anyone of the boys in cla.s.s you would give us five bowls each." Raito interjected in an innocent voice.

"Oh, oh didn't you also say that if I have 80% accuracy you would treat us ramen." Said Naruto in a happy tone.

'My poor wallet.' Iruka cried for the loss of his salary. 'Maybe that's why Hokage-sama gave me a promotion.

"Naruto let's eat to our heart content today." Raito cheered

The group of three teacher and students went to Ichiraku, that night Naruto ate a whole week worth of ramen he had been missing. Iruka sighed looking at his empty wallet. Just as he thought that, he could be saving much more money.

"Say Iruksensei, how old are you?" Naruto asked still slurping some ramen.

"Hm… I would be 22 this year. But why the sudden question?" Iruka answered and inquired.

"Then when did you become a Chunin?" asked Raito

"16, it's been about 5 years now that I have been Chunin. But why are you asking Naruto?" (Iruka)

Finishing the last bowl Naruto looked at Iruka, "Nothing, it's something I read in one of the books Raito gave me."

Iruka looked over Raito who was also eating his ramen and when Raito saw Iruka looking at him, Raito winked at Iruka.

Iruka let out a happy smile and asked Naruto, "What have you been reading Naruto?"

"Hm… things about ninja, chakra, Ninjutsu, ninja weapons and tools, history about our village and some other village and other many more books. Hokage needs to be smart too." Naruto counted off the books Raito had been giving him.

Iruka looked quizzically at Raito, who gave him a sush sign.

"Well, continue doing so Naruto and you be Hokage in no time." Iruka encouraged Naruto

After a few moments, they left the Ichiraku stand, making the Ichiraku father and daughter pair happy.

Walking on the busy street the pair of three walked towards their home.

"Iruksensei, after this survival exercise ends we are going to have our graduation exams right?" asked Raito

Iruka looked at the boy then thinking for a bit he answered, "After the survival exercise you will have a week to prepare than you will have your graduation exams."

"This time the exams are a bit late, you guys changing something in exams?" Raito again questioned

"No Raito we are not changing anything on exams, it will be same as last semester has been," Iruka answered.

Then he searched his jacket and took a small book with old green cover then handed it to Raito, "Here take it. Hokage-sama wanted me to give you this."

Raito casually took the old green book and used 'Observe'

[A Complete Guide to Chakra Control]

A complete guidebook to chakra control. The book consists of several chakra control exercises and handwritten helpful notes by Sarutobi Hiruzen containing his insights.

Written by: Sarutobi Hiruzen

Owner: Yoshizawa Raito

Read this book to learn higher-level chakra control exercises.

Read this book to increase the skill level of 'Chakra Control'.

Read this book to improve chakra control.

Turning a few pages Raito smiled then closed the books. Looking at Iruka, Raito smiled, "Thank you sensei."

"Hey, Raito gets the book. So what do I get?" asked Naruto eagerly.

"Uh…. Why don't I teach you my jutsu?" remaining silent for a while Iruka answered.

"Your own jutsu? Really?" Naruto beamed in joy

"But only after you pa.s.s 'The Graduation Exams'." Iruka interjected

"Awww," Instantly Naruto's mood fell.

Raito looked weirdly at Iruka then opened his mouth, "Hey sensei, is there any difference between 'Graduation exam' and 'Genin exam'?"

Iruka smiled at Raito and chose not to answer that question.

"Che, Stingy."

Naruto looked at Iruka then voiced out, "Say Iruksensei, why not let me try your forehead protector for a while, just a few minutes?"

Iruka got stunned then replied warmly to Naruto, "Sorry Naruto but I cannot give you mine. But after graduation, you can have your own forehead protector, and then you can wear it grandly, like any other leaf ninja comrades."

Naruto pouted, "Fine.' Then stretching out his hand Naruto pulled out his pinky finger put, "Then let's make a promise. If you break it you have to swallow a hundred nails."

Iruka made a silly smile and then they locked their pinky finger making a promise.

Raito left the scene a little black book in his hands, his eyes focusing only on the book. The people pa.s.sing by him hurriedly moved out of his way, some drunkards cursing him and some responsible elders stopping him and lecturing him. Raito asked for forgiveness to the elders telling them it will not happen again but a few minutes later he was again indulged in his little black book.

Unknowingly his little reading had brought him to the quieter place of the village. It was none other than the civilian housing district. The place was near to a market but most of the time the route was empty. It was nearly the time for people, to close their shops or return from their work. But not a soul in sight for Raito's sore eyes.

Raito looked at the street then to the little black book. Closing the book, Raito kept the book in the inventory. Feeling out he could sense there were people in the surrounding. Some good and some bad, people were in their house. Some alone doing their works and some were with their family preparing dinner. Using the 'Chakra Sense', he would peek into the house and use 'Observe' occasionally. Some he would find amusing and some had a boring life with average stats.

A slightly older civilian who had jobs, would have reached Level 15 with one stat more focused than others. Like a laborer or constructer had more stats on their STR and DEX while an accountant or a teacher would have INT and WIS. Raito was fascinated by their name and their description; while he did not know their names, the gamer ability would solve the crisis. Simply glancing at a person he would know the person's name, level, nickname, and his profession.

Not even asking the person anything he could get a lot of information about his target and after using the skill 'Observe' he would get more information about the person which would also verify the information he had seen above the people's head.

To his extraordinary amazing ability, there were a few weakness to it. First would be the level difference between him and his target. Getting the name was possible but other than that, everything else was utterly impossible. Second, the people with the mask, it seemed like they were the nemesis of his skill 'Observe'. To Raito's despair, only question marks were visible, not even a speck of dust worth of information was available.

This time Raito reached the base of the Hokage Mountain, this time, he also trained his skill 'Stealth'. Not hiding in the shadows or anything too over the line but he walked quietly, making as little sound as possible.

Soon he reached the top of the mountain where the heads of the four Hokage were carved. On one of the head, the last addition to the mountain, the head of the fourth Hokage, a person was sitting silently looking at the village below with an odd gleam in his eyes. He was Naruto, silently hugging his knees, looking at the village.

Raito also quietly reaching to the Third's head and sitting on it.

Sitting on top of the leader's head, the time pa.s.sed quickly. The pair could see the sun going down and darkness covering the village. Soon the light from the sun was gone and the houses started to switch on the lights creating an amazing scene from the above. The wind caressing their face, dusty smell of the ground covering their nose. Both of them stood up stretching their stiff bodies and when they looked at each other, they smiled and walked towards their home.

Sitting in his office, Hiruzen Sarutobi retracted his hands from the crystal b.a.l.l.s and smiled. Walking away from the inner chamber, Hiruzen stood near his desk and looked outside the window. Touching the window gla.s.s, he gave a weak smile. Then sitting on the Hokage's seat Hiruzen gave a command. A figure appeared and bowed with respect, "Hokage-sama."

"Call me Mari and Anko." His gaze and voice hardened Hiruzen commanded.

"Right away," with that, the figure disappeared
